16 November 2024 New Haven (Connecticut, USA)
Fantasy
Yale Symphony Orchestra conducted by William Boughton - Woolsey Hall
Program Info: The Orchestra adventures through swashbuckling, fantastical classics in this concert, which features John Williams’ iconic Star Wars soundtrack, Strauss’ ebullient symphonic tone poem of the infamous libertine, Don Juan, and Korngold’s soundtrack to the 1940 film, Sea Hawk. Carlos Simon’s “Tap,” a study of the tap dance and its origins in the social climate of American slavery, and Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man,” written in response to the US entry in World War 2 and now embedded in popular culture, remind us of how art can transform historical realities. Rounding out the program is Bernard Rands’ Symphonic Fantasy, a one-movement work dedicated to Music Director William Boughton.
